Driver gets traffic citation after crash kills bicyclist

Joshua Tshudy, 38, of Lititz, is charged for a violation of the vehicle code titled Vehicle Turning Left, according to court documents.

The crash happened just after 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, at South Broad Street and Second Avenue in Lititz. The bicyclist, identified as 73-year-old Sarah Christine Mummert, of Lititz, was riding westbound on East Second Avenue when she tried to cross Broad Street onto West Second Avenue, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.

Tshudy was driving a Volkswagen east on West Second Avenue and turning left to head north on South Broad Street, according to police. That’s when officials say Mummert struck the passenger side of Tshudy’s vehicle.

Mummert and Tshudy both had a green light, investigators said. Mummert died of her injuries a few days later.
